Validation and Discriminant Analysis of the Athens Insomnia Scale in Older Adults.
Article in International journal of methods in psychiatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to validate and discriminate the "Athens Insomnia Scale" in aged.
methodsPatients were assessed using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The internal consistency of the AIS was assessed using the Cronbach alpha coefficient. For validity analyses, the scale's structure validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Besides, known group analyses were performed for demographic features such as age and education variables, and diagnostic groups were analyzed.
resultsCronbach's alpha of AIS was found to be 0.881. In the CFA, the goodness of fit indices of the two-factor model was found to be significant, which supported the two-dimension structure as a nocturnal sleep problem and its effects on daytime dysfunction. A high correlation was observed between the AIS and the PSQI. It was determined that the discrimination of the > 65 patients from the < 65 patients with AIS was very high, with the discriminating item "frequent nighttime awakenings" in older adults (Wilks' lambda = 0.874).
conclusionThe Athens Insomnia Scale is a practical, reliable, and useful tool for evaluating insomnia symptoms in older adults. Its two-dimensional structure distinguishes nocturnal sleep problems and their effects on daytime functionality.
